Which of the following statements about quorum sensing are true? Choose the best answer only. Quorum sensing is most similar to synaptic signalling in multicellular organisms. There is no specificity in quorum sensing meaning all bacteria can respond to all quorum sensing molecules. Quorum sensing allows bacteria to coordinate group behaviour. All of the other options are true.

What are the 3 pillars of signal transduction that are employed by bacteria for communication? Describe, compare, and contrast each type. Cite an example and elaborate the pathway (i.e., molecular process).
Soil bacteria such as Streptomyces spp. produce the bulk of known antibiotics. It has been suggested that in nature antibiotics serve as signaling molecules, allowing members of the same species or strain to communicate. If this is the case, what might these molecular signals be “saying” and how would such a message be transmitted?
In quorum sensing, why might a bacterium synthesize more than one type of signaling molecule?
Which of the following is responsible for transferring iron into the cell? Transferrin receptor LDL receptor ESCRT Mannose-6-Phosphate receptor
Quorum sensing is one of the coolest things we've learned about this semester, because it is one way that bacterial cells can actually communicate with each other. Which are true about Quorum Sensing? (Choose all that apply.) Group of answer choices Quorum sensing depends on the sensing of signal protein molecules. Quorum sensing is a synonym for biofilms. Quorum sensing allows bacteria to monitor their own population density. Quorum sensing is present almost exclusively in non-pathogenic bacteria and does not contribute to virulence.
Identify which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. Bacterial biofilms due to quorum sensing can be found on medical equipment and implants such as hip or knee replacements or heart pacemakers. b. Quorum sensing uses autoinducers as signaling molecules. Autoinducers are signaling molecules secreted by bacteria to communicate only with the same species of bacteria. c. The first evidence of bacterial communication was observed in a bacterium that has a symbiotic relationship with Hawaiian bobtail squid.
Using the video from https://www.pbs.org/video/natures-cutest-symbiosis-the-bobtail-squid-4bhtmo/ The bobtail squid and Vibrio fischeri serve as model organisms for studying cellular communication. Provideat least two examples of communication either between squid and bacteria or within bacteria from the film.

Specific inhibitors of dyneins have yet to be discovered. When they are discovered, how would they most likely affect cells? Reduce retrograde transport of endosomes Decrease pseudopod formation in amoeboid cells Increase cell size Decrease contraction of skeletal muscle
ADH causes cells of the kidneys to insert aquaporins (leak channels for water) into their membranes. It most likely does this by: Group of answer choices A. activating a second messenger system that leads to activation/insertion of the aquaporin B. binding to DNA adjacent to genes that code for enzymes that make aquaporins C. binding to genes adjacent to those that code for aquaporins and increasing their production D. directly phosphorylating the aquaporins
Why might bacteria use quorum sensing to regulate genes needed for virulence? How might this reason be related to the rationale behind using quorum sensing to establish a symbiotic relationship?
By sensing and responding to change, organisms keep conditions in the internal environment within ranges that cells can tolerate. This process is called ____________.
